The affirmative defense in the DWI case is that no government entity can be entangled with a religious entity. So under that ruling how could any government employee act on those school grounds under any circumstance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-79003044987275203902010-08-22T19:19:06.950-07:002010-08-22T19:19:06.950-07:00Darren,

The First Amendment says <i>"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”</i> This restricts the power of the Federal Government to establish or regulate religion.<br /><br />In this matter a state has licensed the police department and its officer’s to enforce the law. How the hell that violates any part of the of the Establishment or Free Exercise clauses is beyond me. <br /> <br />Mark, to answer your question Pinkerton is a private detective agency and cannot enforce law like a peace officer. Knowing nothing more than what's in the article, I think they will have to coordinate with the local police or sheriff for assistance.Mike Thiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929567856363413549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-2930667139909876352010-08-22T18:36:29.284-07:002010-08-22T18:36:29.284-07:00I wonder if they can contract out to a private non...I wonder if they can contract out to a private non-religious firm (like, maybe, Pinkerton) for police services?<br /><br />-Mark RouloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
